The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Nick Nash, 135 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Taaffe at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.6 · Pick 38 · Derrick Harmon · DT · rank 33
They did well to land Derrick Harmon in No. 38, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
They paid sticker price for Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 13, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Donovan Ezeiruaku · DE-EDGE · rank 75
They talked themselves into Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 52nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 173
This one needs a full-page explanation: Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 2 slot, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 25
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in slot 66, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 17
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick 69 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 94
The board had cheaper options than Tez Johnson at Round 3, Pick 19, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Nick Nash · QB · rank 240
Nick Nash in the 105th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.20 · Pick 121 · Ja'Corey Brooks · WR · rank 200
They reached a country mile for Ja'Corey Brooks at pick 121, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.2 · Pick 140 · Nohl Williams · CB · rank 239
Nohl Williams at the 140th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.26 · Pick 164 · Anthony Belton · OT · rank 245
Anthony Belton at slot 164 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
R7.5 · Pick 219 · Michael Taaffe · S · rank 148
Michael Taaffe at No. 219 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.8 · Pick 222 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 178
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 222 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.23 · Pick 237 · RJ Harvey · RB · rank 300
Value said wait; RJ Harvey in pick 237 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
